Yikes. Sounds reckless. You don’t keep emergency cash?
- koakuma-chan 2y agoIn case my bank goes down? No.
- shwaj 2y agoOr perhaps if your phone goes down.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoIt wouldn't make sense to keep emergency cash in case my phone goes down because my money wouldn't go down with the phone.
- kennysoona 2y agoHuh? If your phone goes down you can't pay for stuff, if you have cash you still can.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoOh you mean like if the battery runs out? I just make sure it never does. I thought they meant like if I lose my phone, but in that case I could just go home and grab my card and pay with my card.
- kennysoona 2y agoSo you're hobbling yourself to a phone for why exactly? Carrying a spare $40 makes your wallet too heavy?
- koakuma-chan 2y agoI don't even have a wallet. Also, a big reason to avoid cash is that you never know who was its previous owner, and whether they washed their hands. Unless you can somehow get factory new cash.
- kennysoona 2y agoWow you're like the archetypal preferred corporate consumer. 100% voluntary opt in to being completely dependent on specific corporate products. > Also, a big reason to avoid cash is that you never know who was its previous owner, and whether they washed their hands. This is silly. By this same reasoning you should never touch a door handle in public.
- koakuma-chan 2y agoThat's correct. You should never touch a public door handle with your bare hands. And often you don't have to. Many doors would be opened for you if you just pushed them, and some would even open themselves on their own if they saw that you wanted to get through. But, hold on, let me blow your mind even further: you should also never eat food that fell on the ground, even if it was less than 3 seconds.
- kennysoona 2y ago> That's correct. You should never touch a public door handle with your bare hands. Honestly that's a miserable way to live life IMO, being afraid to that extent. How old are you if you don't mind sharing? I'm wondering to what extent COVID may have impacted the development of your views here. > let me blow your mind even further: you should also never eat food that fell on the ground, Yeah, not really comparable to opening a door lol
- koakuma-chan 2y ago> Honestly that's a miserable way to live life IMO, being afraid to that extent. I know right. Ignorance is bliss. > How old are you if you don't mind sharing? I'm wondering to what extent COVID may have impacted the development of your views here. I'm 19, but no worries, when COVID happened I was not affected because I rarely went outside.
- nilamo 2y agoDo you never travel? Go camping? Spend more than 12 hours away from a charging location? Seems so stressful for a minor benefit :/
- koakuma-chan 2y agoUnfortunately I don't.
- chabes 2y agoIn case you need money and you can’t access it… A power outage caused by a disaster. Lost phone and card. Any situation where you can’t ask the bank for permission to push a payment. Be careful putting so much trust into institutions, especially in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty five, jesus
